Dear Coach Daniel… Thank you. 💚
Two of our participants wanted to say something to a coach who has made a real difference in their lives. Coach Daniel doesn’t just teach golf — he teaches them what to do when things get tough.

That's the power of a great coach. That's First Tee - Silicon Valley.

If you want your child to learn from coaches like Coach Daniel, registration is open now — FTSV.org! And if you believe every kid deserves a mentor like this, consider making a gift to keep our program accessible to all young people in our community. 🙏

Dear Coach Rob and Coach Howie… thank you. Two of our participants said it best — straight to camera, straight from the heart. The relationships our coaches build don't just happen on the golf course. They happen in the quiet moments of encouragement, in the lessons about resilience and respect, in the way a young person starts to believe in themselves a little more each week. Coach Rob and Coach Howie show up for our kids — and our kids show up for them.

That's the First Tee - Silicon Valley difference!

If you're a parent wondering where your child will grow this summer — this is it. Our coaches are trained, trusted, and genuinely invested in every participant they meet. 🏌️‍♀️

And if you've ever wanted to make sure a kid who couldn't otherwise afford it gets to experience this kind of mentorship — now's the time. Your donation keeps these moments happening. Donate Now at FTSV.org

Dear Coach Julia... Thank You! 🙏 Hearing it straight from the kids says it all. The bonds formed between our participants and coaches like Julia are what make First Tee - Silicon Valley truly special. Coach Julia doesn't just teach the game — she builds confidence, character, and life skills that our young people carry with them long after they leave the course.

This is why we do what we do. Trusted, trained, and caring coaches like Julia are the heartbeat of our program — showing up every day to make a difference in the lives of our kids and our community.
